...being pedantic for no good reason

Nuance has meaning. While I don't agree with the political statement the reviewer was making, it is not the same statement OP was accusing them of (though by implication, the reviewer likely does hate muslims).

This isn't the Oxford comma where genuine misunderstandings are unlikely—using quotes incorrectly is dishonest. It isn't pedantry to look at a quote and take it to be a direct attribution.
